{"title":"Real Presence Amid the Shallows: Eucharist and Friendship in a Digital Age","authors":"Lucas Briola","doi":"10.1017/hor.2023.40","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/hor.2023.40","url":null,"abstract":"This article contends that Christ’s eucharistic offer of friendship, and the habits of attentiveness such real presence demands, must shape the church’s mission in a digital milieu that tends to shallow attention and relationships. It makes this argument in dialogue principally with the theology of Bernard Lonergan and the pontificate of Pope Francis, while aided by the cultural commentary of Nicholas Carr, Sherry Turkle, and Marshall McLuhan. First, I consider how Lonergan’s focus on human knowing and choosing anticipates the recent turn in the Catholic magisterium under Pope Francis that considers the formative effects of digital communication technologies. Second, I show how Lonergan’s account of bias helps explain the shallowing effects of these technologies, for both cognition and community. Third, inspired by Lonergan and Pope Francis, I propose how practices of friendship—informed by Christ’s own friendship extended through Eucharistic presence—can foster habits of real presence able to counter the shallows of our digital age.","PeriodicalId":13231,"journal":{"name":"Horizons","volume":"234 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139067872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Liturgical Animals in a Secular Age: On Charles Taylor and James K. A. Smith","authors":"Anthony J. Scordino","doi":"10.1017/hor.2023.43","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/hor.2023.43","url":null,"abstract":"Charles Taylor and James K. A. Smith occupy unique terrain among the many genealogists, cartographers, and mission-oriented Christian interpreters of secular modernity. By putting a methodological premium on philosophical(-theological) anthropology and on articulating the conditions—rather than simply the content—of belief in the West today, they approach and elucidate a well-trodden scholarly landscape in new ways. Taylor’s <jats:italic>A Secular Age</jats:italic> is a monumental, <jats:italic>sui generis</jats:italic> existential and phenomenological history of the West’s ever-evolving social imaginary, a history whose methodology and anthropological presuppositions merit extensive analysis (undertaken in part 1). In his Cultural Liturgies trilogy, James Smith takes queues from Taylor’s approach and proposes a highly congruous and complementary anthropology to which “liturgy” is the key. His work offers a lexical and hermeneutical toolkit for filling in explanatory gaps in Taylor’s narrative of Latin Christendom’s “secularization”; for further investigation into any particular feature, idea, or practice in said narrative; and for exegeting the numerous ritual and liturgical practices constitutive of every human life, including one’s own (part 2). Despite similar “diagnoses” of secular modernity’s malaise, the two thinkers offer meaningfully disparate remedial “prescriptions.” Part 3 articulates these differences, as they are important for theologians who are discerning the form Christian mission might take in secular modernity. Part 4 considers an apparent asymmetry between Smith’s diagnosis of contemporary Western Christianity’s ills and the correlate prescriptions he suggests the church adopt, as well as issues endemic to Taylor and Smith’s aims to reincarnate the modern, excarnated self. Taylor articulates the otherwise inarticulate and Smith unveils the pedagogical potency of the otherwise ordinary; when read together—especially with Smith as a constructively critical supplement to Taylor—their categories and analyses capacitate a more holistic understanding of what exactly it means to be—and to be the church—in a secular age.","PeriodicalId":13231,"journal":{"name":"Horizons","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139067555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New York: Paulist Press, 2021. 176 pages. $29.95 (paper).","authors":"Lynn Hofstad","doi":"10.1017/hor.2023.25","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/hor.2023.25","url":null,"abstract":"Testament studies as a field. First, Myers consistently attends to differences of scholarly opinion, demonstrating that not all interpreters agree. She presents various hypotheses in evenhanded fashion, positioning herself as a resource and prompting readers to form their own opinions about the evidence. Examples can be found in the discussion of Q on pages – or the list of possible identities for the Beloved Disciple on pages –. Second, she highlights several different contemporary hermeneutical approaches. In her chapter on Luke, Myers illustrates how a gospel’s unique themes can inspire specific avenues of engagement: “Luke’s depiction of Jesus’s compassion for marginalized people, combined with the negative characterizations of the rich and powerful, make it a perfect text to combine with a closer look at aspects of identity in the Roman world such as class, gender, ethnicity, and disabilities” (). Finally, Myers does not shy away from addressing essential ethical issues associated with biblical interpretation, directly confronting the anti-Semitism that is part of the New Testament’s reception history (–, , ). The volume has limitations. The most significant of these is its implicit focus on Western (European) culture and history of interpretation, reflected in the book’s bibliography and the scholars mentioned in the body of the text. Given the stated goals of the Essentials of Biblical Studies series editors—to provide new introductory texts that are responsive to significant demographic changes in biblical scholarship, biblical studies classrooms, and the publishing industry—I was surprised that Myers does not meaningfully engage work from historically marginalized and underrepresented groups of interpreters. This concise and helpful book, suitable for students and casual readers, provides an engaging introduction to New Testament interpretation and its rewards.","PeriodicalId":13231,"journal":{"name":"Horizons","volume":"75 1","pages":"228 - 230"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77514024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This issue marks the first edition of volume fifty. The entire editorial staff is excited to bring our readers a celebration of fifty years of Horizons: The Journal of the College Theology Society. We decided that the fiftieth anniversary of a journal of Catholic theology created in the optimistic spirit of Vatican II and operated by the lay women and men who formed the College Theology Society deserved a two-volume celebration. The collective four issues of volumes fifty and fifty-one, therefore, will each feature an anniversary “Retrospective and Prospective” roundtable. The anniversary roundtable will reprint an article that the editors have deemed “a greatest hit” forHorizons. We will reprint the article and two scholars will respond to the article, noting its significance for its time and commenting on the needs of the present with regard to the topic at hand. We are also planning on brief reflections from former editors to be highlighted in this space. Finally, see the Horizons website for a special anniversary section that we will build out over the two-year celebration. In this issue, our anniversary roundtable features Raymond E. Brown’s article from Horizons : (), “‘Who Do Men Say that I Am?’—Modern Scholarship on Gospel Christology.” Pheme Perkins, Boston College, and Gilberto A. Ruiz, Saint Anselm College, respond. I would be remiss if I did not note that the Reverend Donald J. Senior, CP agreed to write for the inaugural anniversary roundtable. The staff of Horizonsmourns his death. We are grateful to Pheme Perkins for agreeing to take Senior’s place and to place her work in conversation with her former student (G. Ruiz). Immediately following my introduction, founding coeditor Rodger Van Allen provides insights on the naming and founding of Horizons as a preface to reprinting his  account of the origins of the journal. The current editors believe it is important to highlight our “origin story” for a new generation of readers and contributors. The authors of our peerreviewed articles invite us to pause and consider the nature of our theological work in light of the pandemic; to probe the conundrum of the theological claim of the holiness of a church filled with sinful members; to query documents of the Eastern Orthodox Church and their understanding of the imago Dei as it relates to people with disabilities; and to reflect on the possible consequences for theological anthropology from taking the full humanity of adolescents and young adults seriously.

McCabe","doi":"10.1017/hor.2023.8","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/hor.2023.8","url":null,"abstract":"In 1960, Valerie Saiving published a groundbreaking essay, “The Human Situation: a Feminine View,” in which she pointed to the failures of classical sin-talk to account for the ways that women sin. As an early work of feminist theology, the article pointed to the androcentrism of theology: classical notions of sin were rooted in the failures and temptations of men. It also set the stage for feminist treatment of sin going forward. For Saiving, it was theologically inaccurate to identify women's experience of sinfulness with pride and will-to-power. Instead, she argues, the “feminine forms of sin … are better suggested by such items as triviality, distractibility, and diffuseness … in short, underdevelopment or negation of the self.”","PeriodicalId":13231,"journal":{"name":"Horizons","volume":"42 1","pages":"200 - 207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76735707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
